One thing some of his casual fans may not realize is that Richard Holdener has not only done all the testing and tech stories for magazines and websites for decades, but has also done a LOT of R&D that you have seen come to life in products offered by the aftermarket. One place that really shines is with his intake testing. Unlike what you might expect, intake testing is often not glamorous but is sort of nerdy because of the variations tested. In order to test the theories of plenum volume, runner lengths, etc, Richard has built some pretty funny looking intake manifolds over the years and put them to the test. This is one of those tests. You are going to like this video, and you will learn something if you watch it all the way through. Tell us what you think.
